I don’t know, around 2002 it was only a bit behind, well outside of the weird ui and since then unfortunately not much has changed for Gimp. Back then I felt that they were quite interchangeable.

Gimp is not ready and the best alternative is the Windows only intensionally Linux incompatible Affinity Photo.

I don’t know if it’s a problem with experience.

I think it’s mainly these two things:

-Intermingling very old Ubuntu packages with bleeding edge KDE.

-The goal is to demo & test new KDE features and other considerations are secondary.

You only used it for a week and already had issues and the team did not even brick your system with an update yet. xd

Neon maybe has its niche (though I question the point of User Edition), but regular users should stay very far away. Arch is far more stable and it’s less effort to maintain it too. If you want stability and LTS go with Kububtu or Debian.

That sounds very doable, assuming I understand what home means.

To me it seems like the problem is that the panel has the ‘plasmashell’ window type. If it had its own type this wouldn’t be a problem. 😿

For example, if I use only the super key to open the menu, then Firefox windows often pop up still, it’s just weird. (also I’m using the standard plasma panel, I don’t like Latte Dock)

5 seconds to open anything

Define anything. The Firefox snap is not a speed demon, Steam is not one either. Have you actually tried gaming? Have you looked at KSysGuard, Top or any other performance monitor app to see if you have any CPU/memory hogs around?

The first Linux distro (Suse) I have ever tried had KDE. This was in 1999 I think. If only Linux gaming had been as great then as it is today…

If I had money I would pay Nico to make the floating panel with gaps option a reality.

Are you on Wayland, because if yes I strongly suggest to go with X11 for stability in cases like yours. If you really want to distro hop, you could try Debian stable, because it’s still very close to upstream & is much newer than Ubuntu 22 right now.

While this is very cool, I would never turn on clipboard history.

The ‘front door motion’ icon maybe, not that anyone would care, as long as the app is good.

I succeeded in running plasma 6. I could not add 3rd party widgets very easily so I skipped that for now, but at least the ‘Folder View’ widget works.

(I have no intention to ever use an obscure independent distro, but oh man, Kaos has a lot very nice defaults)

The gap between X & Wayland grows. If only they just solved color management…

Is this wayland only? (sorry for the super dumb question)

I was like let’s just boot up a Neon Unstable usb & just see it for myself, but it’s not working, at least the live envo certainly doesn’t. Maybe I’ll try to install it in a VM later…

Maybe I’m very dumb, but I don’t even see the utlity right now, or how that could even work…

I used to think it might 2026 (the first year after Windows 10’s demise), but seeing how increasingly shit Windows 10 is update after update, (weren’t they only supposed to be security patches now?) they might just force an unprecedented number of ppl to switch.
